Download or read book The Roots of Modern Psychology and Law written by Thomas Grisso and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychology's formal interaction with law began early in the twentieth century, though little in the way of substantive scholarly and professional development occurred until several decades later. The emergence of psychology and law as a modern field of scholarship was marked by the founding of the American Psychology-Law Society (AP-LS) in 1969, now approaching its 50th anniversary. The scientific foundation upon which the modern field now rests was established by a small group of psychological researchers, legal scholars, and clinicians. The Roots of Modern Psychology and Law: A Narrative History reveals how the field developed during the first decade following the founding of the American Psychology-Law Society. The contributors to this edited volume, widely considered to be among the "founders" of the field, were responsible for establishing and nurturing many of the subfields and topics in psychology and law or forensic psychology that flourished across the next fifty years. In each chapter, these leaders explain in narrative form how and why the field and the Society developed in its early years through the recounting of key professional events in their careers during the 1970s. In some cases this was their first major research study using psychology applied to legal issues. In others it was their development of seminal ideas or organizational innovations that had a later impact on the field's development. The volume chronicles how an emerging AP-LS and field of psychology and law were shaped by these psychologists, and how their own initial work was, in turn, shaped by the organization.

Book excerpt: Written by authors with extensive experience in the field and in the classroom, Psychology and Law: Research and Practice, Second Edition, offers the definitive perspective on the practical application of psychological research to the law. Curt R. Bartol and Anne M. Bartol emphasize the various roles psychologists and other mental health professionals play in criminal and civil legal matters. Topics such as family law, mental health evaluations, police interrogation, jury selection and decision making, involuntary civil commitment, and various civil capacities are included. The authors also emphasize the major contributions psychological research has made to the law and encourage critical analysis through examples of court cases, high-profile current events, and research. This comprehensive book examines complex material in detail and explains it in an easy-to-read way. New to the Second Edition: The new edition has been significantly reorganized to more closely align with the progression through the court system. A new chapter on children, adolescents, and criminal law (Chapter 8) provides you with information on adjudicative competence, comprehension of constitutional rights, and eyewitness identification and courtroom testimony. New feature boxes include case studies, research projects, and contemporary topics with discussion questions for classroom debate. Additional court cases and statutes have been integrated into chapters to emphasize the important role psychology plays in the legal process. The content is applied to real cases such as the Masterpiece Cakeshop case and the Dassey confession (comprehending Miranda). Over 300 recent research findings on topics related to psychology and law highlight cutting-edge research studies that help you understand what research does and prompt you to discuss the methodology and results. New pedagogical tables clearly illustrate complex information around ethical issues, APA amicus briefs, strengths and weaknesses of simulation studies, insanity standards within the states, effects experienced by survivors of traumatic incidents, and more. Increased coverage of contemporary issues encourage critical thinking and active learning by promoting discussions around current issues such as telepsychology, neuropsychology, adversarial allegiance, and actuarial instruments used in bail and sentence decision-making. ?
Download or read book Psychology Applied to Legal Evidence and Other Constructions of Law written by George Frederick Arnold and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psychology Applied to Legal Evidence and Other Constructions of Law: Second Edition Revised and Re-Written in Parts The chief alterations in this edition are the insertion of a new chapter on some specific defects of the law, with examples in the Appendices, which are also new, and the omission of the chapter containing a psychological examination of Ameer AH and Woodroffe's edition of the Indian Evidence Act. Additions have also been made to all the chapters except that on Causation which is unaltered. One of the critics of the First Edition drew attention to Stern's work 'Beitrage Zur Psychologie der Aussage, ' the existence of which was unknown to the author at the time the first edition of this book was published. When revising it for the second edition every effort was made to obtain a translation of the above work, but it appears that it has not been rendered into English. As the author is unacquainted with German, he has been compelled to relinquish the idea of consulting that treatise or any other work of the author quoted. He has, however, utilised and quoted freely from Professor Munsterberg's work 'Psychology and Crime' which appeared since the first edition of the present work.
